ISLAMABAD: Balochistan National Party (BNP-M) chief Sardar Akhtar Mengal on Tuesday resigned as the National Assembly member over the worsening situation in the province, declaring no confidence in the state, the president and the prime minister.
“I announce my resignation from the Assembly today. I made this decision after witnessing the situation of Balochistan,” said Mengal during the National Assembly session.
Regretting the he could not do anything for the people of the province, the politician said they have not been given the right to rule for a year and that he has lack of trust in the whole system.
“People are not interested in the issues of Balochistan and everytime this issue is raised, we face a blackout,” he said. “This assembly does not listen to us, what’s the point of sitting here?”
Mengal said that the decision is made by his conscience. He questioned where they would go when the roads to the Parliament are all blocked.
